Ferry company, Stena Line was hailed the ‘Best Ferry Operator’ at the Scottish Passenger Agents’ Association (SPAA) Travel Awards 2025.
The event took place in Glasgow on 6 November at the Glasgow City Hotel Doubletree by Hilton. The world's oldest travel organization, SPAA, holds the awards annually to recognize excellence in Scotland’s travel industry, and in the company of over 600 agents and travel trade suppliers, Stena Line received the Best Ferry Operator accolade.
Orla Noonan, Stena Line’s Travel Commercial Manager, Irish Sea, said, "We are honored to be named Best Travel Company at the Scottish Travel Trade Awards. While every award is significant, this one holds particular meaning as it reflects recognition from our peers in the travel industry.
The Cairnryan–Belfast route on the North Channel continues to be one of the operator's most popular services, with demand continuing to grow year on year. This award is a direct result of the dedication and hard work of onboard and onshore teams, who strive to deliver the best travel experience for their customers.
“Receiving this award as we celebrate 30 years of operations in Belfast makes it even more meaningful. On behalf of everyone at Stena Line, I’d like to thank the travel trade in Scotland for this wonderful accolade.”
The SPAA represents Scotland’s travel sector and works with its members to address the issues and meet the challenges of the constantly changing travel marketplace.
